Add .xml to the end of a schedule URL to get an XML representation, or .json for JSON. The format of the .xml and .json representations isn't fixed yet, but we're interested in any feedback from people using them.

[backstage] RSS feeds query
A quick query. Will the BBC be producing any feeds for the Heroes website at all or BBC Three? Since the demise of the cult site, I'm trying to get the various bits of information together in RSS form as a bit of an experiment. Thanks, Iain www.yatterings.com ___ Yahoo!

Re: [backstage] RSS feeds query
It was mainly programme data that I was after and any news/publicity stuff that the BBC has on the show (such as renewals and so on). I realise its a slightly different case that say Dr Who which you own so have a richer feed for. Also (runs for cover with tin helmet) any links to watch it again type thing in the feed (again if these exist). Also is there an image repository or a department to contact to get images/logos to use o a page (with the obvious mention of any pages not being official and copyright notices). I'm just having a play with a few things to get a feel for a small project that I want to run on my own site. Thanks for the other link, Carlos, I'll hook up to the feed tomorrow. More episode information would be good though. Ian, I'll probably have a better idea once I know what's on offer and what I can do with it.
